Essais de Montaigne (self-édition) - Volume I by Michel de Montaigne
"Essais de Montaigne (self-édition) - Volume I" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of essays written between approximately 1570 and 1592. Montaigne set out to record his own character and humours with complete frankness, creating a new literary form that examines topics ranging from conscience and sorrow to smells and letters. Writing during France's religious wars, he embraced philosophical skepticism, questioning human certainty and reason. His conversational style blends learned quotations
with everyday language, creating introspective explorations that accidentally revealed profound insights into human nature itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
